The <br />Ani River .u.~a1ly haa tWO distinct peale, and can have lIS many lIS three peaks during runoff. <br />Seve Df th. test flow years have spanned tho peak flow period or the Animas River. It has' <br />beOn ~d will be very difficult if not nearly impossible to OAactly "match" the Animas IUver <br />pelt. h\e objecttve of the Biolol}' Committee in specil'yinl release pattenlS has been to match <br />the."

To that extent, the tlows have matched the Animas <br />River in'se~era1 years, <br /> <br />ID:303-247-SS27 <br /> <br />FEB 01'96 <br /> <br />15:44 No.019 P.05 <br />.._._-.-w..:,. 1._ <br /> <br /> <br />Pap 9,4th lIara.: The inability to store 300.000 AF of water under full ha..in development:96 <br />'l6 Of t lime would indicate that the Animas La Plata Project wlU not be able to deplele more <br />than S ,100 AF in IIDY year.
